The war criminals are enshrined in the Japanese temple, April 17, 2005
Reviewer: R. Liu (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

Can you imagine that Hitler were enshrined in a German Temple and German Chancellor and selected congress members worshipped in that temple every year?

The war criminals who robbed, raped, and killed people in China, Korea, and other Asian countries are enshrined in the Japanese Shrine, and the Japanese PMs and congress members paid visits to that "Shrine" and worshipped the excuted criminals every year.

And some one said they had apologized. Can you take that as apology?

Has JAPAN apologized? The answer is no., April 10, 2005

The Japanese government normally refers to the invasion of China as "China Incident." You can tell how sorry the person is by looking at the word he/she chooses to describe a bad fact.
I feel sorry for such a liar. Remember, nobody has ever invited Japanese to go to China and kill Chinese.

Then, they always use quibbles like the A-bombs to justify their own suffering and their aggression and atrocities. Again, this is an egocentric view of the history without considering the causality. Who caused all these troubles? Everybody else says Japanese. But lots of Japanese people don't think so. For example, Hosei Norota, a former defence chief, blames Japan's entry into World War II on the United States. "Faced with oil and other embargoes, Japan had no choice but to venture southward to secure natural resources," the senior politician tells a meeting of supporters. "In other words, Japan had fallen prey to a scheme of the United States." Aha, now we can see that Pearl Habor is not impossible, it is INEVITABLE?!

Is it true that an embargo will lead to a brutal war? Clearly no.
Only a person feeling no sorry can use such ridiculous arguments.

Finally, about the so-call "apology", Japanese government always said "regret" rather than "apology", except one time in 1998 by Prime Minister Murayama Tomiichi (of Socialist Party, not the powerful Liberal Democratic Party). A Japanese here said Japan has made apologies for 17 times. This is a lie. Thinking about this, "regret" for 16 times, 1-time "apology" (in lexical form) submerged in those "regrets", and then always "regret" again up to now. The sincerity of the one-time apology is very questionable. And now it is crystal clear that the apology was just a fake as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has officially visited Yasukuni Shrine every year to pay respect to the 17 "oriental Hitlers" (the 17 war criminals of WWII whose pictures and names are worshipped in the Shrine). I just cannot imagine what the reaction it will be for Jews, Polishs and Americans IF GERMAN PRIME MINISTER SHOWS OFFICIAL RESPECT TO ADOLF HITLER, HERMAN GORING AND HEINRICH HIMMLER. I don't think Korean and Chinese people over-reacted. On the contrary, they are too shy and too nice.
